Do you believe Jesus as a person existed?

 

[Enmos]

And where did Jesus say his prediction would come true in 2000 years time ??

 

[redwards]

So do you believe Jesus existed?

As a human being? That certainly seems likely.

 

[Enmos]

Do you believe Jesus as a person existed?

I believe Jesus is probably, at least in part, based on an actual figure.

 

[davewhite04]

Okay I predict in 2000 years time men will want to impress women and people will be obsessed with power.

A bit different than saying "people will pretend to be me in 2000 years time" methinks.

So you think he was mad but actually existed?

 

[Enmos]

A bit different than saying "people will pretend to be me in 2000 years time" methinks.

Where did he say that ?

How? if your famous enough people will always want to be you

 

[Enmos]

So you think he was mad but actually existed?

No.

 

[davewhite04]

So it seems likely...

But all your other messiah's are a certainty, prejudice?

The thing is, Jesus himself wasn't famous.

[Enmos]

Dave can you answer my question now ?

 

[davewhite04]

No.

So you think he talked sense?

 

[shichimenshyo]

Bow down before me!

Which messiahs have you in mind ?

 

[Enmos]

I believe Jesus is probably, at least in part, based on an actual figure.

That's it.

But all your other messiah's are a certainty, prejudice?

They are, for the most part, at least as likely as Jesus. From what I understand, there's very, very little evidence for Jesus outside of the New Testament. For the most part, however, scholars have concluded not that he didn't exist, but simply that he wasn't particularly well known when he was alive.

Still hunting for where I read this. I promise I'll deliver eventually, but I have a lot of work to do tonight. Might have to wait until tomorrow.
